Yes, veterans and law enforcement personnel have put their lives on the line to secure our freedoms from unwarranted governmental interference (UGI). What are some of these freedoms we enjoy? Voting rights, First Amendment rights, and jury trial rights if you are brought into a criminal court. Law enforcement personnel are often brought into a jury trial as a witness against a criminal defendant. However, if they are brought into a family or juvenile court, as a parent, they aren’t afforded their own jury trial rights.
